RUN, RUN, RUN

So much art, so little time

September is the best time in the city: Everyone comes back from vacation, the weathers great, and suddenly there are more art openings than you could possibly attend. If you had to pick two tonight, wed recommend starting at the Kitchen, where the season kicks off with Alix Pearlsteins After the Fall, a four-channel, in-the-round video installation staged within a black-box theater, in which one group of performers acts out a confrontation while the other group simultaneously passes judgment on the unfolding drama. Then hop the L train to Factory Fresh for the opening of their new street-art show Power and Currency, featuring loads of fascinating pieces on sex, wealth, technology, and authority by Aiko, Audio Jockey, Curtis Readel, D*Face, and ESPO, among others. After the Fall, from 6 to 8, the Kitchen, 512 West 19th Street, 212-255-5793, free; Power and Currency, from 6 to 10, Factory Fresh, 1053 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, factoryfresh.net, free
